On the eve of International Women’s Day we want to celebrate and shine a big fat spotlight on women who innovate, create, inspire and continue to support the women around them. We kick off our Habari showcase with a chat with luxury safari chef and guide, @charleyswynnerton, who is based in Tanzania. For Charley, a typical day at work could be leading a group during the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti or being flown to a secluded beach on the Tanzanian coast to create the perfect seafood fare. It may sound ridiculously glamorous, but this is no role for the faint-of-heart, especially during a global pandemic. The full sit-down chat, which also included her talented brother @jackswynnsta, who took the photos and videos you’ll see, recalls a childhood centred around the slow and dreamy beaches of Zanzibar and the Tanzanian coast; the time she stood face-to-face with a male leopard and chased two hyenas and a honey badger from her kitchen tent in the dead of the night; and being told by her boss that it was time to leave and start her own business or she’d have to be fired. Charley’s delicious beef shin stew recipe and her signature coastal cocktail mix are also ready to read via the link in our bio. Please enjoy it all and let us know what you think.

Thinking of Myanmar today. A lot of uncertainty and fear as a military coup unfolds.

Just around the corner from Hyams Beach you’ll find ‘The Hole in the Wall’. The perfect little spot for a quiet family dip. We had the place to ourselves aside from the echidna we spotted on the bush walk back to the car. ❤️

Heavenly Hyams Beach on the South Coast of Australia. Where the sand is the whitest of white.

Dear Clem and Matilda, the world is suffering through a global pandemic. My heart breaks especially for those who are sick, scared, have lost loved ones and/or can’t get to where they need to be. It is easy at times to feel like all is lost, but, there are good things and good people to focus on. Today I want to share with you one of my favourite photos your daddy has taken – it’s from October 2015. We were in the town of Pushkar, which borders the Thar Desert way up in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It’s a holy town – full of temples and there is a sacred lake with 52 ghats where Hindu pilgrims come to bathe. It was a hot day and I was trying to adjust my camera to Pushkar’s bright midday sun. Your daddy and I had a ‘Photo of the Day’ competition going on between us, and the antics were really heating up. I saw this man, wearing a red turban on his head, walking down the dusty road, sucking back on his rollie. He came up to us and requested that his photo be taken. He wanted to blow smoke rings and pose in different positions. Before I had the chance to sort my ISO, your sneaky daddy snapped away and caught our exchange on camera. I did take a good shot of our red turban man – with ghosts of smoke billowing from his mouth - but I think your dad won the crown. Don’t worry, I took back my title the very next day. P.S. Girls - a few hours later I would tempt fate and drink a masala chai which would haunt me all the way to Mandalay and result in a rather unfortunate explosion in the back of a Burmese taxi. Best to avoid drinking (or eating) anything which has been in direct sunlight for far too long, and always carry good rehydration salts in your backpack for hot days and bouts of unexpected gastro.

I woke up this morning really and truly missing the open plains of ... pretty much anywhere, to be honest. The thought of being windswept and sun bronzed seems pretty close to heavenly … but that won’t be happening for a little while yet

I woke up this morning really and truly missing the open plains of ... pretty much anywhere, to be honest. The thought of being windswept and sun bronzed seems pretty close to heavenly … but that won’t be happening for a little while yet, as we all know. I hope everyone is doing ok. It’s been a bloody rough ride for so many people, near and far. Lockdown; illness; job losses; being separated from loved ones; and being unsure of what the future holds can be scary, lonely and endlessly draining. There have been heart-warming moments – Italians passionately singing from their balconies in chorus while socially isolating; health workers receiving the accolades and rock star reception they deserve; and my favourite: the family who created a home shopping experience for their grandmother who suffers from dementia, to help her maintain her much-needed weekly routine. So, I know I’m a little late to the game, but I just wanted to say, if anyone needs anything – please let me know. I guess we just continue to push on, look after each other, and wait for this thing to pass.

Going back through the files to try to stay sane during coronavirus lockdown and found a few unshared gems. Here's an episode from the @worldnomads Travel Safety shoot presented in Bogota, Colombia, looking at Borrachero - a mind-controlling drug that can be used as a dangerous method to kidnap and rob travellers. Turns out VICE forgot to mention a few key points in their popular doco when they were investigating the drug. Check out the story (link in bio). Producer: Jesse Chard, @ritual.film for @worldnomads DOP: Brian Rapsey, @rhapsody pictures Creative Director: Gregg Bleakney, @wherenextlife Also featuring @crispstreetart - a talented artist originally from Tamworth who we interviewed on the streets of Bogota. What are the chances!

Oh, hey there big guy. How’s it going?

Happy birthday to my big, bad, beautiful @bennyontheroad. He’s a man of muscle but also incredible heart and soul and a creative talent that is terribly rare. As a producer, Ben is one of the hardest working guys I know, but you will rarely hear him complain. He jumps out of bed every morning ready to push himself to create the best. He’s also a man of mystery. Aside from being a gun Jeopardy player (he’s a History major and a hardcore reader), he’s also a lover of metal and classical music, and is a fierce TV/movie aficionado. As a husband he is loving and supportive - championing even my craziest ideas, but he also provides practical and thoughtful advice. And of course, as a father, Ben is a loving, fun, patient, caring dad who is heavily ‘in the trenches of parenthood’ alongside me, every step of the way. (Plus, he does the weekly food shop which makes me love him even more.) Our two girls look up at him with such admiration - it makes me incredibly happy. So, my darling man, happiest of birthdays to you. I can’t wait to celebrate many more. 💕

Dear Clem and Matilda, I’ve found some more pics of mum having fun, for you. This time from June 2013. This photo was shot by my friend @syzana1 while we were filming in Mongolia with Sunrise and World Vision with @melissadoyle7 and @billyfoste

Dear Clem and Matilda, I’ve found some more pics of mum having fun, for you. This time from June 2013. This photo was shot by my friend @syzana1 while we were filming in Mongolia with Sunrise and World Vision with @melissadoyle7 and @billyfosterphotography. It was taken on the salt plains in Selenge Province. The air was crisp, the soil was crunchy, and the horizon didn’t want to end. During the trip we went to a bareback horse race, spotted two-humped camels, ate goat stew and were lucky enough to be invited inside colourful and beautifully presented ghers. It’s easy to judge people on the size and contents of their homes - but that’s a mistake. The kindest and most generous people your dad and I have met have often had the least amount to give. P.S. Girls - save up and buy a good jacket. I wore this one every day in Africa and all over Mongolia and I still wear it today.

I'm sitting here in the Sydney sunshine, enjoying a nice cup of tea. I've jumped onto our page and have just realised we have a community of more than 5,000 people in our Facebook/Insta world (and growing), from all over the world. This is just a quick message to say a huge thank you. Habari Productions will be 6 years old next month. In that time we have been constantly reminded of the beauty, strength, kindness and courage so many people possess. We've held three photo exhibitions (thanks to our parents for helping!!), given a percentage of our profits to Doctors Without Borders and UNFPA’s maternal health program, been Nat Geo shortlisted, done a TEDx talk and had school kids in the Netherlands and the Aussie bush use our photos and interviews as part of their learning. A few things have changed since Ben and I started Habari (we now have two kids!!) but on the other hand, not much has changed, at all. We still want to share the stories of the unique people we meet on this earth and give back whenever we can. So, thank you again for supporting Habari and for being a crucial part of the ride. Now, strap yourselves in, because there are more Habari stories and adventures coming your way. Whoop. Big love, Steph and Ben. xx P.S. If you're bored, write your hometown and country in the comments below, so we can all see where you call home!

‘’Jordan Leads wants everybody to know she is alive and well. When she was six months old, she had her picture taken with her family at Joshua Tree’s Turtle Rock: a baby in midair, swaddled in a puffy purple jumpsuit, thrown over a disturbingly large gap between boulders. (Her parents, Jeff and Sherry, were the ones doing the throwing.) That photograph appeared in the Spring 1995 catalog. It also hung in the hallway of the house where Leads, now twenty-five, grew up. Sometimes people would comment on it when they came over, but it never really fazed her. When your house also features a massive four-car-garage-turned-climbing-gym that your dad built himself, and when you are raised on rock by that same dad and his friends, it all seems pretty normal, really. Besides, she adored climbing.’’ 〰️〰️〰️ https://www.patagonia.com/blog/2019/03/where-she-landed/?fbclid=IwAR0fWUCtHsnQQPSZS70FUWf2h2JHCK-VnDF2IvlH5R0ubJlrHOR9oPWXYM4&utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-patagonia&utm_content=later-1992821&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram
